I need to know the lenght and width at threads of the bolt holding the rear upper spring mount (See part #9 in picture.) Will work the weekend with an idea to lift the car rear. Will post solution if it works. :)

I need this info in order to buy longer bolts than stock.

Thanks.
As this is a metric bolt please state size in mm or cm.

      The idea follows.

      1. Make a 1/2 steel spacer 4" diameter with a 1/2" hole in the center.
      2. Put that spacer over the Rear Upper Spring Mount.
      3. You will need a longer bolt to tighten the mount.

      A friend told me it works...

      I will tell you later ifit does...
